Situated in a great location, the abode welcomes an abundance of natural light. Light can flow from room to room easier with an open floor plan and removed walls. Without barriers, different fields are connected tightly. Besides, the versatile space allows for functionality and practicality. It is a space where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy quiet time alone or with friends or family.

Taking the habits of residents into consideration, the long table extended horizontally can serve as a dining table as well as a working desk. With this flexibility, various functions can be squeezed into minimum space. With the modern style as the theme, the abode incorporates solid wood furniture pieces into a streamlined frame to exude a sense of rustic warmth. On the canopy, expanded metal mesh brings out the rustic industrial vibe. A unique and personalized home is created using opposite or similar elements.

Upon entering the home, a wood sculpture of Kwan Kung is the vista view, followed by the blue sky and greenery outside the window as the background, expanding the visual depth. Continuous wood pieces conceal the bathroom and bedroom doors. Iron pieces support the shelves, and suspended wood panels are staggered and interlocked, demonstrating the tension of simple yet refined layers.

Instead of a typical TV wall, the large windows maximize the amount of light. Flexible wood shutters allow you to control the amount of light that enters a room. Varying intensities of light and shadow that change over time invisibly create conditions that occur in nature. In the middle of the half-height wall, solid wood forms a countertop for TV and equipment. Even without a main wall in the room, solid wood provides a touch of stability to the interior.

The U-shaped center island not only integrates the functions without wasting the floor space, but also creates a clear distinction between the dining room and the living room. Meanwhile, the iron shelves continue the "see-through" design concept and are in tune with the ceiling to lend a sense of simplicity.
